Relatively low in omega-6 fatty acids, flaxseed oil may be used to lower the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 oils in the diet. Having a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 affects joint health, cardiovascular health, allergies, immunity, hormone balance, intelligence (IQ), behavior, athletic performance, the nervous system and over a thousand other biological actions.*

Sometimes called linseed oil, flaxseed oil is a plant source and may be used as an alternative to fish oil. Also try high lignan flaxseed oil -- a great way to get valuable organic plant lignans (phytonutrients) in your daily diet.

Flax Oil with Lignans provides valuable benefits from lignans found in organic flaxseed particulate (plant fiber).* Flax oil is one of nature's plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that is vital for good nutrition. ALA helps maintain healthy skin, joints and cell membranes and it promotes cardiovascular and nervous system health.* Use in salad dressings, yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes or directly from the spoon. Take 1 tablespoon daily.
